Work smarter not harder. Good one Billy.

Handy set up! Another good tip I've found watching your videos. Since downsizing, happens with age, my work area is much smaller. Always looking for useable tools & equipment like this that is easy to store when not in use, avoid clutter. Your videos provide an in use look which is very helpful. Thanks 👍🏼

There is a certain style and humility with this gentleman

Thank you

Don't think I've ever heard of a portable winch before. Thanks for another great video. Always enjoy watching. Wish I lived close to your shop so i could stop by sometime.

Billy u got the coolest set-up with the coolest bike on it! Love what u do buddy!

You got one of the baddest shop trucks man. You should put a swing out arm on it kinda like a engine lift, so all you do hook up the winch lift the bike an swing it in.🤷🏼‍♂️cool idea for the low bikes that belly catch.

Late to the game, but picked up my tickets to the Tennessee Jam. Gonna be a good day.

Awesome. It’s a really fun event, we have a lot of fun, the locals are fantastic, & the bikes are so fast.

I would look into a removable gantry crane for your truck if you want to load alone, the winch is nice, but once you get a little older, you might want to not have to deal with the ramps. The gantry mounts are flat when the crane isn’t mounted, so the truck bed will be completely usable. I think Northern Tool carries them as well. I had one a few years ago when I was buying and selling big air compressors, made life safer and simpler. 👍

Funny, I’m having a gantry crane sent for just this purpose.

@@BillyLaneChoppers Great Minds Think Alike! 👍 As a side note, I made a jib for mine if I needed to get something up a little higher than the stock crane could do, I bet you know a good welder that could make you one LOL 😉

We need to see this at the freedom factory!

Get yourself some synthetic winch cable for an ATV (I think it's Kevlar). I did that with a Warn portable winch, and it about tripled the line capacity, plus it doesn't scratch stuff and doesn't fray or get stuff greasy. I think I went from 15' of steel cable to 45' of synthetic, with higher load capacity as well. Amazing stuff, barely bigger than paracord.

Want that thumbnail as a tattoo! 🤘

Thanks for sharing Billy. I had wondered how that was done. Great truck restore 👍

Coool truck ! I have to use long ramps to key bikes from high centering. With the winch I could probably pull past that point. Maybe even add a roller. Usually takes a couple friends to help load my bigger bikes. I’m considering something in the line of biker rescue gig .

Thanks, I'll need to do this tomorrow

I hear that I never have help always gotta find a way do it by myself sometimes you gotta be creative.

Your truck is cool as hell!! Thank you for the cool video Billy!! Hope you are doing well!! Stay safe and have a nice day!!🤘🤘

Too cool 👍👍

Awesome! Way Kool

f@t b@st@d says = kickin it as usual = awesome

Nice, but I'd be getting a swing Boom and just boom it in while I'm safely on the ground.

Off topic but have you ever done a where are they now video on the bikes you built over the years?

I’ve been working on it for two years

looks like you need a new deck on that truck ! Use Western red cedar and spray vinegar on it it will sun fade grey instantly ( if you want it sun bleached ) and wont rot because cedar lasts decades

Yeah, it’s definitely time for some new lumber. This is an old Iowa farm truck that was bought new and worked for generations by the same family.

Ride safe bro you can build a righteous chop how can I get a Choppers ink beanie

three more winches and you can cut your bars in half

A guy could place a 1950's Desoto HEMI in the bitchin truck

Too bad the winch doesn't have a release to let it out without using the electric motor like a normal winch.

It’s actually great that it lets cable out with the button. Unloading the bike is easier because of this.

No disrespect my bro but your breathing is not good me an Kaplin America are the same age and both of us have had to ease up on the cigars. Just sayin. Cheers from your kiwi friend. 😁🇬🇸👍

I’ve been doing this over 3-1/2 decades. I’m pretty comfortable with who I am & what I choose to do. You’re clearly trying to project your feelings about yourself on me, but I’m not buying what you’re selling. Unless you’re a narcissist, you aren’t really buying it, either. But hang on to hope….bro.
